The face of German Leipzig and its guest, Liverpool, is in doubt

The confrontation of German Leipzig and its guest Liverpool, which is scheduled for February 16 in the first leg of the European Champions League, is in danger due to strict precautionary measures to combat the emerging Corona virus in Germany.

The spokeswoman for the German Interior Ministry said in statements to the German news agency (dpa) today, Monday, that there are no exceptions or special rules for sport in the regulations in effect until at least the 17th of this month.

Under the strict rules and procedures, airlines were banned from bringing travelers to Germany from countries with a different strain of the emerging corona virus, such as Britain.

All of the Germans and foreigners residing in Germany are exempt from this rule, who must present a negative result for the Corona detection test.

The European Football Association (UEFA) has not yet revealed its position on the match, which will be held on the tenth of next March.

Hoffenheim's confrontation with his Norwegian host born on February 18 in the 32nd round of the European League Championship may also be in danger, in the event that Norway reinforces its strict measures, which stipulate that foreigners will not enter the country unless they are residing there.

Norway has canceled several winter sports World Cup competitions for this reason.
